By the late 2270s, the Reliant was under the command of CaptainClark Terrell. In 2281, the Reliant proceeded to the planet Halka after learning that they had been attacked by the Orions. Lt. CommanderPavel Chekov led a landing party to the surface and learned that a local boy named Lojur took up arms against the Orions, and was subsequently banned from his village by the Elders. Chekov took pity on the boy and beamed him aboard the Reliant. (TLEnovel: The Sundered)

In 2284, the Reliant was detached from active service and assigned to assist Dr. Carol Marcus and her Project Genesis team find a suitable uninhabited planet for testing. In 2285, Terrell and Chekov beamed down to a planet they believed to be Ceti Alpha VI. When they discovered Khan Noonien Singh and his followers, they discovered that they were, in fact, on Ceti Alpha V, and that Ceti Alpha VI had been destroyed.

Following Khan's defeat, the Enterprise traveled to Ceti Alpha V and recovered the surviving members of the Reliant's crew. From there they were safely transported to Starbase 12. (TOScomic: "The Wormhole Connection")

Nice! I just bought the Round 2 Reliant the other day and your model inspires me to work on it - as soon as I finish about 30 works-in-progress.

What do you print your Aztec decals with? All I have is an Epson inkjet printer and haven't had much success printing decals. It works well for paper model parts, but when I try to print decals, they usually come out smeared and unsatisfactory.

Thanks William - I use a HP Deskjet F4480 Scanner/Printer.It prints a beautiful decal but it sure loves to dine on toner. When you print off the decals make sure to print in full colour. They're multi coloured and quite pretty when you get up close to them.

Beautiful! I started on the AMT R2 Reliant a couple weeks ago. Taking excruciating time w/ the paint, but will probably end up nowhere near your end product. Question: how did you decide on your paint scheme? Specifically, what blues did you use? The duck egg the kit calls for is woefully light for my taste, and the intermediate blue, although nice, is sort of dark. Yours are bright & striking without being garish. Nice job!

ho ok cool you did a great job hi like, whats is the brand of your decal sheet because a have this model but hi dont want to pay for de decal set by amt 30$ its a high price for decal and its the first time for me to make my homemade decal..
